   chrisbauerwrat replied to tash1422's topic in New Nurse

   Yes PowerChart is a mess. My hospital uses it too. Orders are in more than one location, there is the option to chart by clicking off tasks or actually putting in the details in ad hoc, cant figure out the actual protocol. On top, we paper chart i...

   Not gonna lie. Nclex is not hard. Shut off at 75 and knew I passed. Shoot I knew I passed before I took the test.

   No probationary, regular license. For theft convictions in Michigan you don't have to disclose any theft conviction unless it is punishable up to 2 years incarceration. If your theft are minor misdemeanors and are over 5 years old then there won't ...

7. Anyone in MI denied a license? If so, what convictions do you have?

   chrisbauerwrat replied to onehope67's topic in Criminal

   I went threw this. First, in Michigan the license app now reads have you been convicted of misdemeanor with punishment of two years incarceration possible, your answer is no. Have you been convicted of drug related offenses. Your answer is no. So you...

11. Nclex should be harder

    chrisbauerwrat replied to chrisbauerwrat's topic in NCLEX

    True it's a minimal competency exam. Just seems like it's very minimal. Have seen too many cases in which mistakes and errors were made by lack of knowledge. I think we should up the competency.

12. Nclex should be harder

    chrisbauerwrat posted a topic in NCLEX

    Personally I think the NCLEX should be harder. Took it Friday, passed with 75 q. Graduated 3 weeks ago, studied some over that time maybe an hour a day. The biggest thing I remember from taking the NCLEX and most nursing exams actually is the fee...

13. Henry Ford Hospital?

    chrisbauerwrat replied to AQEELSMOM's topic in Michigan

    Epic is an emr. Only been using it a year. If you like trauma and intense patients then DRH and HFH are the two. Beaumont is level 1 also but more suburban. They don't call the ED at DRH the gun and knife show for nothing. One of the best trauma hosp...

14. Epic vs Cerner EMR

    chrisbauerwrat replied to RN_Fan_Club's topic in General Nursing

    Like them both. Have used 2 versions of epic and Cerner. In some ways epic can have too much potential information, leading to info overload without regard for prioritizing information. Maybe it was hospital but epic was super glitchy at times, lost ...
